This delicious Mexican Tater Tot Casserole was submitted to The Supper Club and by Julia Reffner from North Chesterfield, VA. As soon as this recipe came in we knew we had to make it. If you have followed out site for any amount of time you know we love tater tot recipes! We have never made a Mexican version so this was a real treat.
Mexican Tater Tot Casserole Ingredients Needed:
Ground Beef
Taco Seasoning
Frozen Corn
Salsa
Mexican Cheese Blend
Sour Cream
Tater Tots
We loved that you combine the salsa, corn, taco seasoning with the meat and you actually use the sour cream in the dish and not as a topping. This casserole was really good and it reheats very well. We had it for a few nights and everyone loved it. This casserole comes together very quickly and the best part.. you only need ONE pan to make it. You use one skillet and then a 9X13 dish, so not a lot of clean up, which is a win win!
It’s perfect for a busy night and we will definitely add this recipe to our rotation. Thank you so much Julia Reffner for sending this great recipe!
What you can change or add to this delicious dish:
- You can switch up the meat, use ground pork, ground chicken or ground turkey. If you are looking for more protein and less fat ground chicken or ground turkey would be the best option.
- You use the hashbrowns frozen which saves time. This dish comes together very quickly.
- You can add other toppings like green chilis, Rotel tomatoes, green peppers and onions.
- You could easily add black or pinto beans to the meat mixture.
- Switch up the cheese to your liking.
- You can top it with fresh cilantro before serving.
